From a group of Chinese tourists who had just gotten off a tour bus were heard whispers of, “Yes, quit the CCP!” A Chinese tourist who appeared to be in his 50s purposely fell behind his group and went over to the table for the Global Service Center for Quitting the CCP. He asked about the activities and took a copy of the Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party.

Since the Nine Commentaries were published in 2004, they have triggered a worldwide movement of Chinese people quitting the CCP and its affiliated organizations. By September 4, 2011, over 101 million people have quit the CCP and its affiliated organizations. These people have chosen justice, kindness and peace over the brutality and lies of the Communist regime.

100 Million People Quitting the CCP Symbolizes the Disintegration of the CCP

The president of Taiwan Friends of Tibet, Zhou Meili, said that the CCP could not suppress the awakening power in people's hearts with guns and bullets. She thanked Falun Gong practitioners for their efforts in waking up the 100 million Chinese people from the CCP's deception and stated that she believed that the force of compassion would eventually defeat evil.

Dr. Gao Weibang, President of the Victims of Investment in China Association (VICA), pointed out that the CCP has maintained its political power through lies and violence. He praised the enormous power of Falun Gong practitioners' clarifying the facts of the persecution and exposing the CCP's lies and brutalities. He believes that the 100 million withdrawals means that the CCP is falling out of power. Many high-ranking officials have quit the CCP and he feels that the day of the CCP's collapse is near.

Kong Shiren, Deputy Chief Secretary of the Democracy Party of China, paid tribute to Falun Gong practitioners. He said, “The CCP's cruel suppression of Falun Gong practitioners forced them to expose the facts of the suppression and exhort people to quit the CCP and its affiliated organizations. The quitting the CCP movement has shaken the CCP's core. One hundred million people quitting the CCP and its organizations means that the CCP is crumbling.”

Chinese People Awaken and Choose a Bright Future

Ms. Tong has worked as a volunteer at the Global Service Center for Quitting the CCP for five years. She said that most Chinese people quit through faxes, phone calls, and emails. Some of them bring lists of names of people who want to quit the CCP to the Service Center when they travel outside of China. She said that in 2008, after the snowstorm in China, an 80-year-old man who understood the evil nature of the CCP traveled between 20 towns and villages in the cold and helped over 500 people quit the CCP and its affiliated organizations. Many people have awakened and chosen a bright future for themselves.

People Yearn to Learn the Truth

Following the rally, the parade to support the 100 million courageous people who quit the CCP began with the majestic music of the Divine Land Marching Band. Behind the band were practitioners dressed as celestial maidens, followed by a Falun Gong exercise demonstration, posters of people around the world practicing Falun Dafa, reenactments of tortures used against practitioners in China and the CCP's live organ removal of imprisoned practitioners. Finally, a contingent of practitioners carried photographs of those who have died in the persecution in China.

The parade attracted many people. Many told a Falun Gong volunteer who was handing out fliers that it was a great event. A number of people said that they wanted to know more about Falun Gong, and one passerby said that he wanted to walk with the parade until it reached the destination.

Lin, who lives near Dinghao Commercial Circle, came downstairs to watch the parade when he heard the drums. He said that the CCP was the worst political power in the world because it suppressed spiritual belief and illegally harvested and sold Falun Gong practitioners' organs for profit. He said that the CCP was bound to collapse and people in Taiwan should support the Chinese people who have withdrawn from the CCP.

The CCP's Disintegration Is Just Around the Corner

Mr. Xie and his wife from the Banqiao District, Xinbei City in Taiwan were impressed by the large rally on Freedom Square. They said they had read the Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party, and had learned about the CCP's evil nature, so they supported those courageous people who have quit the CCP. They said that Falun Gong practitioners' exposing the CCP's atrocities is to help the world's people understand what the CCP is; it is an act of compassion with significant meaning.

Mr. Wang, in his 80s and originally from Kaifeng City, Henan Province in China, has lived in Taiwan since 1949. He said that many people had no idea how brutal the CCP is, how it tells lies and deceives people. He therefore feels that this kind of activity is needed to help people become aware of the truth.

Mr. Chen, also in his 80s, was pleased to see the parade and said that the wave of people quitting the CCP is an irresistible trend. He said that any regime that isn't suitable for humanity will be weeded out, adding that the CCP's disintegration will be seen in near future. Mr. Chen looks forward to the day when people in the mainland China enjoy the same freedom of speech and belief as people in Taiwan.

Mr. Song has lived in Taiwan for 60 years. He was impressed by the majesty of the parade and Falun Gong practitioners' high spirits, and wanted to learn more about Falun Gong.

Ms. Liu from Singapore took a copy of the Nine Commentaries and started to read it. She was shocked to learn that Falun Gong practitioners have been subjected to such severe persecution. The Nine Commentaries helped her gain a deeper understanding of the CCP's nature.

Lin, a middle school student, distributed truth-clarification materials along the parade route. He said that it was a school holiday that day, so he spent his time off of school helping more people learn about the CCP's nature. He believes that the truth can dispel the CCP's lies, and hopes that more people can learn the truth.

A man in his 50s was visiting Taiwan from mainland China. He took a copy of the Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party, and said that he had never seen anything written like this. He said that people in mainland China can't read such things, and he would bring the message to his fellow countrymen.

Mr. Zhu works in a private company. He watched the parade outside the gate of his company. He said to a practitioner who distributed truth-clarification materials, “You are really very polite! Among all parades and protests in the world, Falun Gong group is so peaceful and steadfast. You're powerful.” Mr. Zhu said that he had learned from media reports about the CCP's bad deeds. He feels that the parade is important to help the world learn that more than 100 million Chinese people have cast aside the evil CCP.

Police officer Mr. Lin has worked in the Bo'ai Special District for more than a year. Officer Lin said that he was always nervous whenever there were large-scale activities, but that it is quite different wherever there are Falun Gong practitioners involved. He noted that they are in such a good order, even though there are so many of them, so police officers on duty only need be concerned with the behavior of passersby.
